Crafted using traditional techniques passed down through generations, this kiln gaiwan is composed of three essential parts—a finely shaped bowl, a wide lid, and a matching saucer—each thoughtfully designed to enhance the brewing experience. The delicate celadon glaze features a naturally occurring crackle pattern, known as 养开片, which not only highlights its artisanal craftsmanship but also deepens in character over time, revealing a unique story with each use.

The vessel’s rounded profile, flared lip, and generously wide lid are specifically engineered for Gongfu tea brewing. These features facilitate a gentle steeping process that allows the tea leaves to fully unfurl and release their complex aromas and flavors. The muted blue-green coloration of the crackle glaze exudes understated elegance, creating a calming aesthetic that connects you to centuries of Chinese heritage while enriching every tea session with serenity and tradition.
